End Notes: László J. Kulcsár and Benjamin C. Bolender. "Home on the Range: Aging in Place in Rural Kansas," Online Journal of Rural Research & Policy (2006.3). [1] This research was supported by the Fall 2005 Kansas State University Small Research Grant program. We'd like to acknowledge the help of the Kansas Population Center in hosting this research project. [2] It has to be noted that there are two parallel urban-rural classification systems in the US. The Census Bureau uses a place-based system, differentiating between urban and rural places. The Office of Management and Budget uses a county-based system, differentiating between metropolitan and non-metropolitan counties. This latter scheme is used by most researchers, however in many publications researchers use the term “rural” as a synonym for non-metropolitan. In this study, the terms rural and non-metropolitan are used interchangeably. [3] The U.S. Census Bureau considers the following states to be part of the West North Central Division: South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri, Minnesota, Kansas, and Iowa.

Beale, The revival of population growth in nonmetropolitan America (Washington DC: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service, 1975). [22] In this table, the rural and urban terms refer to the Census Bureau definition. [23] By 2006, due to changes in the classification system, the number of metropolitan counties increased to 17. [24] This is only one aspect of this complex change. Employment in the meat processing industry is increasingly based on minority labor, mostly Hispanics (see William Kandel and Emilio Parrado. “Restructuring of the US Meat-processing Industry and New Hispanic Migrant Destinations.” Population and Development Review 31 (2005): 447-471.). This has important implications in community development in these places. Published June 30, 2006 © Online Journal of Rural Research & Policy |
